The Winter Good Food and Wine Show took place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from the 28th - 30 May 2009 and, as in previous years, this gourmet spectacular had everyone begging for more! With a record turnout of over fifty thousand visitors, the show beat the records set in 2008 when forty eight thousand visitors were recorded. The variety offered by this show is key to its success with exhibitors ranging from exciting independent organic markets to the cream of South Africa's most popular FMCG brands. 8 Jul 2009
